New York Local Swap Meet/LFS Tour - Saturday April 20, 1pm

Hi Everyone!

With the weather warming and our LFSs stocking up, now is a great time for our next swap meet and LFS tour. The meet will be held, as usual, at the Lower East Side, Manhattan, specifically at the park bordered by Delancey, Forsyth and Chrystie streets. Here is a map of the working tour:

We are also incorporating a discussion theme into the meet. Think of it primarily as a heated discussion where newbies can learn by osmosis. The theme, chosen be popular vote will be emersed plants.

Swap Thread House Rules:

1. Use only one post to indicate your date preference (4/20 or 4/21), items to swap and WTT. Feel free to update it as necessary. Feel free to introduce yourself as well.
2. Be clear and concise when contacting members about swaps.
3. Feel free to repost what you have to trade/swap 3 - 4 days before the date.
4. Voting on both the theme and the date will close on 4/14.
5. Update your post when an item becomes unavailable.

Helpful Hints

1. Keep the spirit of the event in mind, swap whenever possible.
2. Do not bring unclaimed livestock, unless you are willing to give it to an LFS at the end of the tour. Also be mindful of the weather. April is generally a good month for moving livestock.
3. There are arrangements for a rain location and that will be indicated if necessary.
4. Newbies especially, don't be afraid to introduce yourself and ask questions!
5. If you cannot make the meet but have trades outstanding, inform your partner and make alternate arrangements or cancel.

If i go, I'll have a trim pack for nano tanks. I'm still waiting for some shrimp food from MABJ (generous RAOK) to share with everyone, but it doesn't seem to have arrived yet. That, or my landlord is hoarding it.

UPDATE: I am not able to attend on Saturday; however, I plan on attending the reptile show on Sunday in White Plains with my brother. Anyone also attending is welcome to meet me there to swap anything (PM or otherwise message me first to make sure I pack it along, please).

Dwarf hairgrass, nice sized portion for an approximately 6"x6" area. I have a section planted in my 5.5g with narrow leaf micro sword (Lilaeopsis mauritana) that I am not happy with (too tall - and with mowing it, I don't like it), so I would love to swap it out. I can trade for the microsword (quite a bit as it has grown in densely, probably 3ish pots worth) or other plants, or I am interested in buying the hairgrass. (Think I am covered between a few trades)
